George Goetheln, progressive .member of the relchstag, Is quoted in a Berlin dispatch as having said at a meeting of the central committee of this party that although the military situation was satisfactory, there was no hope of crushing Germanys enemies on land. As for the submarine campaign, seven million tons of shipping had been sunk, he asserted, but no disposition toward peuce on the part of England was discernible. A rationing system for foodstuffs had not been even introduced, and no one was able to say when the would malfc! England more inclined for peace. America cannot be forced to make peace, Herr Goethein continued. We cannot force America to pay a war inThere remains only Engdemnity. land. But should we, in order to obtain an indemnity of 10,000,000,000 marks, sacrifice 50,000,000,000 and another half million men? Germanys allies, Herr Goethein continued, were not inclined to continue the war for plans of conwere quest, but striving for peace by and conciliation, while understanding clamor for annexathe tions was finding a bad reception among them. He asserted that the long working hours and insufficient feeding at home increased the desire for peuce among the workers and that strikes might be expected if the war should be continued for aims of conquest.
